CHICAGO. April 16. There m sharp
nd Irregular action In the grain pita
today. I'ry weather reports were strength
ening Influence early, but rain came to
the relief of the bears and prices were
forced down. May wheat closed y4l'c
lower. May corn lie down and May oat
Unchanged. Provision lost 2iij6c to 15c.
Condition In wheat favored better prices
at the opening. Cables were stronir at
food advances and dry weather reports
continued to come from the suffering south
western wheat country. Halns were re
ported In Oklahoma and Karma, but mall
advices generally stated that the recent
rains were not sufficient snd that much of
the standing grain would have to be plowed
up. lafluetttlal Interests were buying- early
after a momentary reaction and prices for
soma time held strong. Near the noon
hour a selling movement waa started on
reports of rain In Iowa, where there has
been much misgiving of late. Some of the
8t. Louis crowd were heavy sellers, ss
were commission houses. The corn collapse
was a strong bearish factor and though the
outsider was buying liberally the day
closed with much lower prices. May wheat
started a shade to Wp''o up at 74&74e,
old at 731Ao and then worked up to 743ic.
On the decline May sold at 73'g'73c, closing-
lower at 73'4c. lxiral receipts
were 48 cars, none of contract grade; Min
neapolis and Duluth reported fta enrs, mak
ing a total for the three points of 144 cars,
e gainst 81 last week and 203 cars a year
-ago. Primary receipts wese 2f3.iiO bushels,
compared to 481,OiioJushel last year. Sea
board clearances In wheat and flour equaled
Si 1,000 bushels. The seaboard reported ex
porters Idle and cash grain business neg
lected because of the English duties.
liquidation In corn ruled the day. Early
Influences of cabins anil wheat imue )
bullish and helped corn for a time. The
pit, however, was very nervous and after
some fairly heavy buying early bears began
to pound the market to force longs to let
go. At top prices long corn came out. but
the holders did not press the stuff In
judiciously on a weakening market. St.
Louis, which was firm early, eased off and
this market declined steadily. Trade at
times had dull spots. The last hour's ac
tion, howevei, was spirited and of a very
depressing nature. The wheat decline was
a bearish factor. May corn slid off from
63c to 61 Sc and had only a slight rally
at the end. closing le lower at 6c. Re
celpts were very light at 34 cars. Some
.traders were of the opinion that leading
bulla were hammering the market. In
order to get a better load at low prices.
Oats were quiet and were traded In on a
moderate scale, though fluctuations were
erratic. Corn was the leading Influence.
There was still some confusion over the
new grading of standard oats. The new
oats held their premium of lc for July
and lo for September. Mav fluctuated
between 42V and 43iC and closed steadv,
unchanged at 43c. Receipts were again
light at 34 cara.
Provisions were liquidated today on the
Influence of a weaker hog market. The re
cent higher prices for hots have been
bringing out Increased numbers from the
country. On the decline In. products pack
ers came to the support and there was a
slight reaction late from the low points.
Way pork sold at 116.70 and closed ISc down
at 1$.77. May lard closed 6j7c lower at
$9.70 and May ribs IH'afcc down at 19.15.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
40 cars; corn, 60 cars; oats, 120 cars; hogs,
81.000 head.

SEW YORK STOCKS ASD BOSDS.
Activity of Financial Powers stim
ulate Slocks Bonds Irresjnlnr.
NEW YORK. April 16. The stock mar
ket reverted to a more normRl condition
today -after yesterday's extraordinary
movement In Southern Railway. The trans
actions In that stock, although scarcely
more than one-quarter of those of yester
day still overshadowed the market and
were on a scale beyond precedent, with
very few exceptions.
Heavy profit-taking, was In evidence ull
day long, which kept the price almost con
stantly below last night's level. The stock s
net loss was . There was some selling
Induced bv the emphatic disclaimers on the
part of the Southern Railway Interests of
any participation In the Louisville Nash
ville purchases, present or prospective.
The western and Pacific stocks, as a rule,
were subjected to realizing, but there were
a number of smaller railroads whose stocks
were sharply advanced, with an appear
ance of an absorption for control which
readily induced a speculative following
among the professionals, because of the
prevalent feeling In Wall street that "a
railroad cannot be left out over-night with
out being snapped up by some syndicate,"
In the expressive phrase of the president
of one of the coalers.
Wisconsin Central was the most conspic
uous Instance of this class, both Its stocks
rising more than 3 points and closing
strong In contrast with a reactionary ten
dency In some parts of the market. There
was a large number of minor stocks which
showed gains of a point or more at one
time during the day, but the cases are rare
where the full advance waa maintained.
Sugar became strong for a time on the
decision to limit the period for debate on
the Cuban reciprocity bill.
Amalgamated Copper was sold on account
of the reduction in the Anaconda division
and on fears that similar action would be
taken tomorrow In the case of the Amal
gamated dividend. '
International Power made an extraordi
nary upward movement of 19 points, clos
ing with a net gain of 17.
Rumors were current of some combina
tion with American Locomotive. The gains
were not well maintained In any ense, and
there were not a few declines during the
day among Important stocks, but the evi
dence that the financial powers which have
been leading the speculation were still ac
tive kept the interest In the market awake.
The money market showed no disturb
ance and there was no advance In the ex
change market despite large sales of stocks
for London account and the prospective de
mand for exchange on account of Amer
ican subscriptions to the new British con
sol loan, the times of Issue of which were
announced today. The market closed ac
tive and Irregular. There was continued
heavy realising In the Central of Georgia
Incomes.
The bond market generally was Irreg
ular. Total sales, par value, $4,396,000.
United States Bonds were all unchanged on
the last call.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: The prospectus
regarding consols shows an Issue of .12.-
000,000 at 92. equivalent to 92, allowing
as aiscount tne run payment and a quar
ter's Interest to July 6. Half the loan Is
taken, which Is Arm In advance. The
Rothschilds, .Morgan & Barings' prospectus
was out at 2 o'clock. Applications are
already heavy. Including one for 1,000,000
by the Mutual Life Insurance company of
New York and 400,000 by the Guaranty
Trust company. The premium reached
1 3-16 and closed at 74, adjusting Itself to
consols, which are 11-16 to 93. The new
consols are good delivery on full pay
ment, the market offering for allotment.
Results were that the market was Irregu
lar, with some nervousness regarding
peace. There is a fear that there may be
considerable sales on a hitch In negotia
tions. Americans were very spotty. Louis
ville & Nashville was quieten. London is
short. The price fluctuated between 126
and 129, and back to 127. Southern rail
way was heavily traded in around 38, 29
and back to 88. The favorites are Chesa
peake & Ohio, St. Paul, Atchison and
Baltimore A Ohio. The close was Irregular.
Conner -began flat on the drop In the metal
rof , but the fortnightly statement shows
decreases or an tons in biocks ana l.mi in
supplies. The metal rallied to 92. Rio
tintos finished only down to 44.

CATTLE There was another generqus
run vi caiue nere louav, ana as aavices
from other points were unfavorable to the
selling interests a slow and weak market
was experienced. Packers seemed to want
the cattle, but they were slow about taking
hold, and as a rule wanted to buy their
supplies lower. Sellers were holding for
steady prices, and tt took buyers and sellers
some time to agree on terms.
Packers started In this morning bidding
B'flioc lower on tne general run ot steers,
Sellers were not willing to cut loose at
those price for the kinds tnat Just suited
the buyers. A a general thing, however,
the cattle sold a little lower and the mar
ket could best be described by calling it all
the way from steady to 10c lower than yes
terday. Trade waa not very active, and It
was rather late before a clearance waa
made.
The cow market was In Just about the
same condition as the trade on steers. The
market was all the way from steady to a
dime lower, and slow at that. The decline
was not confined to the common and me
dlum grades, but effected the good kinds
as well. The market was uneven all around
and it was rather late .before the bulk ot
the offerings was disposed of.
Rulls. veal calves and stags were also
little slow and weak unless they were very
good.
The stocker and feeder trade did not
hnw much change from yesterday. Yard
trader took hold In fairly good shape and
bought up all the desirable grades at Just
about steady prices. When ft came to the
common and lightweight stuff the market
was, ot course, slow and no moratban

HOGS There wss not an excessive run
of hogs here today, but conditions Were de
cidedly unfavorable to the selling Interests
and the market took a drop of ialoc. On
the start the heavyweight hogs were not
more than 6c lower, but when other mar
kets were all reported lower and provi
sions also took a drop, this market, of
course, eased off, and trading waa very
slow. The light weights. In particular,
were hard to move at any price, and sell
ers complained that they could not even
get a bid on such kinds. As the morning
progressed the market grew wone. ana
the last half of It was extremely slow, and
it was late before the bulk of the offerings
was dtsposed of. On the last end good hogs
sold fully a dime lower than yesterday s
general market. The most of the heavy
hogs went from t6.0 to t7.10. Medium
weights sold lsrgely from IS 80 to t6.90. and
light hogs sold from to. 75 down. Repre
sentative sales:

SHEEP There waa not a heavy run here
today and the general market could be
quoted steady to strong. The quality of
the offerings was not 'very good, which
had a tendency to make buyers Indifferent,
and as a result the market was not active.
Sheep, however, could safely be quoted
strong, particularly on the better grades.
Packers did not take hold of the lambs
In very good shape, but nothing desirable
was offered. Some heavy lambs that
weighed 96 pounds sold fgr 36.55, which was
6c more than the same kind brought on
Monday. The general opinion was that
good handy weight lambs would have
brought very satisfactory prices.
There was not much change In the feeder
market, as prices held Just about steady.

DISCUSS ASSESSMENT PLANS
Real Estate Men Seem to Favor Fall
Cash Valuation ot Prop
erly.
The county and state assessment was the
theme of discussion at tbe meeting of thn
Real Estate exchange yesterday afternoon
nd It was discussed for an hour or more by
many members. Tbe general opinion
seemed to be that for the purpose of ob
taining an equitable assessment between
real aad personal property It would be
necessary to have the law enforced a to
the assessment of property at Its real value
nd the tax committee of tha excbng
through its chairman, F. D. Wead, ttatel
that It believed that suit should be started
to compel tbe assessors to observe tho
law.
Some members of the exchange believed
that It would work to the disadvantage
of the real estate owner lo have the' prop
erty assessed at Its full value No definite '
action was taken, the exchange preferring
to await the decision of the supreme court
in the pending case.
A resolution was adopted calling upon tha
senator and congressmen from the state
to vote for tbe Irrigation bill now pending
In congress.
MOULDERS TAKE NO ACTION
Local Men Await the Arrival of Offi
cers of International
t'nlon.
No word has been received from the In
ternational officers of the Moulders' union
who were expected to arrive In Omaha
yesterday. It was said by one of the local
officers that they would no doubt be her?
some time this week, and that he expected
word from them at any time, notifying the
local member when they would reach, the
city.
There has been no change It) the situa
tion at any of tbe shop where the demand
for Increased wage has been made, and it
Is probable that nothing will be done until
a conference 1 held between the member
of the local union and the representatives
of the, International organization.
